We're starting something new!  Too often, kids feel excluded from commercial book fairs because they don't have the money to buy shiny, new books.  BookSmiles has a solution with our "Three for Free" book fairs, where it costs only a smile and a thank you to "purchase" a book!

Enjoy the pics from two Philly schools during Read Across America week!
We had so much fun distributing to these two Philadelphia Schools.
Between both schools, we provided over 4,000 books for these scholars to take for free. We want every kid to get to experience book joy!

Do you know of a school that's 80% or more free/reduced lunch?  We can provide the books if the school can provide volunteers from the community to run the fair! Think of the parents, grandparents and community connectors who would be happy to assist.

Jane Golden is the founder and executive director of Mural Arts Philadelphia and I am so honored to have her visit the Book Bank.

Looking forward to spreading book-wealth with her iconic murals as a back-drop. Art and Literature, perfect together.
